Apparently, this tablet supports the Lenovo Precision Pen 3 which is a pressure-sensitive stylus. The price seems really good for this tablet, considering its performance and the DEX-like desktop mode is fantastic. It's about $385 for the 4GB model in Canada.

I've been a fan of Android devices doubling as a small desktop replacement for years, but because I never found quite the right mix of what I was looking for I ultimately wound up taking the opposite direction: an i7 16gb 12.5" touchscreen Dell Ultrabook that dual boots into Android x86. Aside from middling battery life, it checks all the boxes of a productivity machine for me: portability, power, functionality and flexibility.

Thanks for posting this review. It's very clear and concise. With the tablet connected to the secondary screen, can it be used to copy what is being done on the tablet? That is, what you see and do on the tablet is the same as the big screen. I'm thinking of a presentation where I can use the tablet and others in the meeting room can see what I'm doing. P. S. Nice plant on the desk.

My 2020 iPad Pro is pretty laggy when I load larger worlds and I’m curious if you had a chance to check out Minecraft on this tablet. I mistakenly sold my xiaoxin padpro 2021 for the iPad and don’t want to make the mistake again because the 870 ripped on Minecraft. I’m wondering if the kompanio does well with it also.

$229, not a bad price for a tab with the performance near a SD870 with video out, optional Pen 3 support to compete with 2022 ver S6 Lite, shame they raised the price to 300-340, but then again even the S6 Lite 2022 raised their price.

Maybe I missed it, but did you use a 1080p, 1440p, or 2160p monitor? The overly large scaling makes multiwindowing useless to me if I can't tile everything and have it still feel like I'm getting a fully functional experience out of each app. Does the desktop mode scale differently with different resolutions? I know I'm a weirdo, but I've even given up on 1080p windows anymore because the screenspace you get to work with is tiny and they don't let you 'zoom out' further on desktop beyond 100%.

Lenovo makes great tables with CRAZY battery life. I have an old Tab 3 10.1 bought it brand new back in 2016. I would only have to charge it once a month, maybe 2. Now I use it for my kids movie/games for road trips. and even after all these years of heavy usage, it still gets 13-16 hours of battery life. I have just 1 problem that tablet and this one. Mediatek. you'll only get 1 Android OS upgrade and maybe MAYBE 4 security updates and that's it. That's why we get tablets with Snapdragons or Exynos processors.
